The organization is especially concerned with children who will begin to use more and more e-readers in schools instead of print. They are concerned that the Kindle devices nor the book files used in conjunction with them are not accesible to students who are blind or have print disabilities.

Mike Mello, president of the Greater Seattle Chapter of the NFB, went on KPLU this morning and said that he wants Amazon to adopt Apple’s ways of making their products accesible to the blind.

This flyer from the NFB explains that blind students can’t search Kindle books accurately, read them with Braille display or read spelling and punctuation because Amazon — unlike some other e-books — has “chosen to make its e-books inaccessible.”

Amazon just recently announced that it will be adding accessibility features like “Voice Guide” and “Explore by Touch” from the Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ to the standard Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD 7″ devices. Amazon also offers an Accessibility Plugin for its Kindle PC app.
